What to Pack in your Hospital Bag

Prepping your hospital bag checklist & ticking off each item as you find it & pack it is one of the great joys of the later stages of pregnancy. There is so much that you simply can’t predict about labor, but having a hospital bag that’s prepared for every eventuality is the perfect way to keep calm and feel a little more in control in the run-up to giving birth.

It isn’t always easy to know what to pack in your hospital bag & which things to leave out, but we’ve gathered a few of our hospital bag must-haves to give you a little packing inspiration.

Hospital Bag List for Mom

First let’s focus on the things that you’ll need to make your hospital stay as comfortable as possible. Pretty high up your hospital bag checklist we recommend a comfy maternity nightie that opens up at the front like our button down maternity & nursing nightie. It’s perfect for labour & delivery, and is a must-have for immediate skin to skin contact or kangaroo care after your baby is born. You may also want to think about adding a light robe, nursing bras and a chic nursing shawl into your hospital bag for those first few feeds at the hospital. And don’t forget a comfy & stylish maternity outfit for those precious first pictures and to make sure you leave the hospital looking and feeling fantastic.

Baby Hospital Bag

Don’t forget you’ll be packing a hospital bag for baby too! This is the fun part where you get to pick out baby’s first outfit and maybe even a beautiful baby blanket for the crib & the car ride home.
